The picture does not do this gift card holder justice... It looks like it's off center, but I promise you it's not. I love making it. However, my tassel on the top of the card is another story!! *lol*... I'm still taking orders as well... Message me or email, if you'd like some grad cards!!
Turn your card up so the 4 1/4 side of the scored line is the top and the bigger side of the score is at bottom.
Take a ruler and measure across the top of the 4 1/4 and make a tik mark with your pencil at
2 1/8.
Go down to the score line at 5 1/2 and measure up 2 1/8 with ruler and make a tik mark. Do it on the opposite as well. I drew a line from point to point.
Cut from the 2 1/8 mark on the side to the 2 1/8 mark at the top center on both sides of the paper forming the point.
Go down to the score line at 5 1/2 and measure down 2 1/8 with ruler and make a tik mark. Do it on the opposite as well.
Using the scoring blade go down from the 2 1/8 on the right side across and up to the corner. Do the same thing on the opposite side - making a big, scored x.
Using bone folder fold the point down and the sides in - making sure to line them up.
Measure 21/8 across and down to find the middle of the cap. Use your take your Pic tool and your piercing matt to make a hole. I used a black brad & Linen thread to make a tassel.

Graduation is upon us. I love how these two boxes turned out... I did a step-by-step video but it was over an hour long & I got bored with me *lol* Can't image how bored you all would be *lol* .. I will do another video showing each step but shorten it down .. Hopefully have it posted in the next day or so.
Here is a short video showing you the inside of the box..
These boxes are a great way to give gift cards or money, and they are great for any occasion. Please know I do make them and sell them as well.
It's that time of year!!! Graduation is just weeks away. The supplies I've used on this card are a modge podge of suppliers. If you need graduation cards reach out to me, I'd love to make yours for you!!
